In addition to submitting a poster abstract, poster presenters may also choose to participate in PosterTalks, a five-minute/three-slide presentation of their poster content given during the technical presentation sessions at annual meeting. Each participant in PosterTalks will be assigned a meeting room and time, along with other PosterTalk presenters. Also included in the room will be each presenter’s poster. Following the presentations, attendees of the session will have time to meet with the individual poster authors, in the same room, to discuss the content of the poster.
PosterTalks are in addition to the poster set-up, viewing, and author time that takes place in the exhibit hall. This new concept allows more opportunity for poster authors to share their scientific research and content with meeting attendees.
Select “YES” on the submission form if you are interested in participating in PosterTalks.
